The work ends with a movement on the same scale as the first, opening with the
bass notes of the Burchell’s Coucal and being joined by
another song of the same bird, plus Rudd’s Apalis in the first violin line and
Purple-crested Turaco providing rhythm in the viola. This is the land of the
Zulus and the game parks, of guineafowl and Ground Hornbills (whose
start-and-stop bass line against the whistle of the Deideric Cuckoo is
unmistakable). Solo lines throughout the movement are provided by the Rattling
Cisticola, Gorgeous Bush Shrike, Yellow-eyed Canary, and Chorister Robin Chat.
Widespread African birds familiar to many, such as Fish Eagle, Green Pigeon, and
Crowned Hornbill are also represented. The movement ends on a forceful note
with the multi-pitched calls of the Lesser Striped Swallow.
